Barcelona's Defeat To Rubin Kazan Gives Real Zaragoza Hope - Francisco Pavon

Despite the Blaugrana's Champions League hiccup, los Blanquillos have a difficult task ahead of them...

Paco Pavon - Zaragoza
Real Zaragoza defender Francisco Pavon has indicated that Barcelona's defeat to Rubin Kazan shows that the Catalan outfit can be beaten.

'Paco' added that he hopes los Blanquillos can take advantage of the Spanish champions' slip up to spring another surprise at the Camp Nou.

"It will be a very tough game, but we have our chances and we have to fully exploit them while we also try and counter Barcelona's qualities," Pavon explained to El Mundo Deportivo.

"We have to be at our very best when we take on Barcelona.

"We will have to give 110 per cent because even when people say they are playing badly, they are still capable of beating anyone."

The former Real Madrid man concluded by saying that even though the Blaugrana are "the most difficult side to beat" away from home, Zaragoza will not give up any lost causes and will try "to hurt" the champions.
